Chkdsk at Boot time on system drive

Posted: 06-06-2004, 03:21 PM
I also have this problem. Autochk will work on all drives except the system drive. chkntfs works properly and is verified by looking at the BootExecute entry in the registry. It is Windows XP Home, SP1 with all current updates. System drive is C: and is NTFS. All other drives but one are NTFS also. Autocheck will work on all drives/partitions except the C: system drive. It simply does not run when scheduled. Would appreciate any help

No answers, but I'll be watching this with interest. One reason may
be something that's already active and writing to disk even at the
early stage that AutoChk runs - and if that's a malware, it may be
tuff to remove on an NTFS C:

The other possible issue is in the scheduling itself. If that's done
using Tasks (as it probably is not) then an incorrect or blank
password set within the task will cause it to silently not run. A
blank password will stop the task from running, even if this matches
the blank password of the user account.
